2021: Huawei Wi-Fi AX2 presentation in Russia

On December 6, 2021, the company Huawei Consumer Business Group (BG) introduced Russian router Huawei WiFi the AX2, which supports the standard, on the market. wireless communication Wi-Fi 6

Home Wi-Fi

Huawei WiFi AX2 is a consumer router that provides a fairly high theoretical data transfer rate in dual-band mode up to 1500 Mbps. True Dual-band technology allows related devices to analyze signal quality and automatically switch between 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. The 5 GHz range provides a high speed of devices while playing or watching online video, and the 2.4 GHz frequency ensures connectivity regardless of distance to the signal source. At the same time, switching occurs smoothly, without the need to interrupt an online conference or download a video file.

Coverage and Performance

HarmonyOS With Mesh + technology, you can connect additional Huawei WiFi AX2 modules to cover large spaces and easily configure a multi-level network, significantly increasing the range of the Wi-Fi signal. The Huawei WiFi AX2 router provides coverage up to 90 m2 of area, so in more spacious rooms, users can connect a second router and expand the coverage area to 160 m2. The Super Seamless Roaming technology of HarmonyOS Mesh + supports seven algorithms roaming, including 802.11 k and 802.11v. Due to the high (50 ms) switching speed, users can freely move around the house without interrupting game sessions or watching videos.

Smart Technology for Smart Home

Huawei WiFi AX2 offers intelligent features for managing home wireless networks as part of the Huawei AI Life application. The application contains smart diagnostics tools to visualize Wi-Fi signal coverage, detect and fix wireless network problems, and manage device connectivity. Parental controls are available to users to not only limit the time children spend online, but also block sites with inappropriate content.

Home Network Protection

To protect users from growing risks, cyber attacks Huawei WiFi AX2 supports data protection Huawei HomeSec technology, which helps ensure privacy personal information access and guarantees access Internet to only users with appropriate rights, as well as provides multi-level protection of home networks. It includes the Brute Force Attack Prevention feature, which can detect and prevent unauthorized access to the wireless network through selection. For password providing safety data Huawei WiFi AX2 got support of the relevant standard authentications and 192-bit enciphering Wireless Protected Access III (WPA3). Users who often have guests can also set up guest Wi-Fi: a separate network with their own password. Devices connected to via to the Internet guest Wi-Fi are isolated from, which LAN excludes the ability to access the owner. personal data Using the Huawei AI Life application, users can also delete unnecessary connected devices and change their password, reducing security risks.

Configuring and Connecting

There are three adaptive Gigabit Ethernet ports on the back of the Huawei WiFi AX2 with support for WAN/LAN auto-detection. This solution allows you to connect WAN and LAN cables to any of the Ethernet connectors when configuring from home networks.

Prices and availability

According to the information company, Huawei WiFi AX2 in white will be available in the official online store Huawei, Huawei branded stores and partner stores from December 10, 2021 at the recommended retail price of 3,690. rubles

Huawei Wi-Fi AX3 presentation in Russia

On July 13, 2020, HUAWEI introduced the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 series of routers on the Russian market with support for the Wi-Fi 6 standard, which provides a significant advantage in speed, network coverage and data stability. The HUAWEI router with Wi-Fi 6 Plus compared to Wi-Fi 5 gives an additional increase in communication speed by optimizing the interaction between the router and HUAWEI devices at the processor level.

The Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard has received a number of improvements that ensure higher speed and performance of the wireless network. Due to the high modulation level of 1024-QAM and bandwidth up to 160 MHz, the data rate is increased to 3000 Mbps, which is three times higher than Wi-Fi 5. OFDMA intelligent frequency sharing technology allows multiple devices to use spectrum resources at the same time. This increases router throughput by up to four times that of Wi-Fi 5, supporting up to 128 devices in two ranges. In addition, signal delays are reduced by two-thirds. On-demand activation saves up to 30% battery life for all devices connected to the Wi-Fi network.

The HUAWEI WiFi AX3 series of routers included two models: with 4-nuclear and 2-nuclear Gigahome processors with a clock frequency of 1.4 and 1.2 GHz, respectively. Both models support data rates up to 2976 Mbps (574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and 2402 Mbps at 5 GHz). The older model is equipped with 256 MB of RAM and 128 MB of built-in storage, the younger has 128 MB of RAM and storage. Wi-Fi 6 Plus technology, created by HUAWEI based on Wi-Fi 6 standards, takes advantage of the potential of proprietary Gigahome processors, ensuring stable router operation with a minimum bandwidth of 2 MHz. This allows you to increase the signal power of smartphones to 6 dB, improves its penetration through the walls and significantly expands the coverage and capacity of the wireless network.

The older model of the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 series, equipped with a 4-core Gigahome processor, supports HUAWEI Share technology, which allows you to connect HUAWEI devices using the NFC tag touch. You no longer need to share a password from Wi-Fi, just one touch of HUAWEI devices to the router is enough. In addition, a more powerful older processor supports HUAWEI HomeSec data protection technology. The independent security zone (trusted TEE runtime) is built directly into the processor, and the TrustZone mode is implemented at the microkernel level. This solution received the Eal Assurance Level-5 (EAL5) certification from the internationally recognized Common Criteria IT certification organization, which once again confirms financial-level security guarantees.

In addition to proprietary dynamic narrowband technology, the 4-core version of HUAWEI WiFi AX3 received four independent signal amplifiers, which allows users to create distributed mesh networks from several routers, thus expanding the coverage in a large house, office or production building.

Thanks to these features, new routers will become reliable connecting elements in the intelligent ecosystem 1 + 8 + N created by HUAWEI, providing a fast, stable and secure connection to home and corporate networks with advanced coverage and intuitive management.

Price and availability

The device will be available on the Russian market in white. Pre-order for HUAWEI WiFi AX3 routers starts on July 30, 2020. From August 6, the device will appear on sale. The recommended retail price depends on the characteristics of the product.

Huawei AX3 announcement

April 8, 2020 Huawei introduced, according to the company, the first in the world router with support for the 6 Wi-Fi + standard. The new product, called the Huawei AX3, has an actual bandwidth of 1.8 Gb/s, which is twice the performance of Wi-Fi 6 devices with a bandwidth of 80 MHz.

Huawei independently develops chips with Wi-Fi 6 + support. So, the Kirin W650 chips will be used in other Huawei devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart displays and other equipment, and the Lingxiao 650 processor will be used in routers, including the Huawei AX3.

Huawei introduced, according to the company, the world's first router with Wi-Fi 6 + support

Lingxiao 650 is characterized by a clock frequency of 1.4 GHz and a bandwidth of 160 MHz, the chip also works with the Wi-Fi 5 standard and, according to the manufacturer, doubles its speed when using Wi-Fi 6 +.

According to the developers, Huawei AX3 uses intelligent frequency separation, allowing several devices to share the same channel resources. At the same time, the router can serve up to 128 devices.

Huawei smartphones with Wi-Fi 6 support will be able to send strong (6 dB) signals to the AX3 in a stable narrow 2 MHz channel using Dynamic Narrow Bandwidth technology. Such wireless penetration through solid objects, such as walls and pol. this means that the phone will have good reception of a Wi-Fi signal, even if it is located, for example, on the second floor, and the router - on the first.

The size of the router is 225 x 159.2 mm x 39.7 mm, weight - 403 grams. The set contains one WAN port for connecting an Internet cable and three LAN connectors with a capacity of 1 Gb/s.

Huawei A3X will be sold in the Chinese market at a price of 229 yuan (about $32). When the device will appear in other countries, including Russia, is not reported.^[1]
